Synopsis
Step into a world far removed from the everyday, where nature and architecture conspire to create some of the most serene holiday retreats ever created. In the company of interior design specialist Judith Miller and interiors photographer Simon Upton, Great Escapes visits homes in mountains, hills, and woods, by water and even in the city. Retreats range from a minimalist beach house in Malibu to a jungle hideaway in Mexico, from a rooftop apartment high above the streets of Paris to a cabin perched on the shores of Lake Placid. Each escape is celebrated in turn, revealing what made its owner chose this particular magical place, and how through their inspired vision each one has made the place his or her own. In each case the result is a dazzling combination of environment and the owner's personality. These are homes that will continue to inspire you long after you have finished reading the book.
